I read it about ten years ago. Do not remember anything, because I was never able to find work as a Common Lisp programmer. Would have been fun. I know that things in the lisp community change very slowly, and wanted to know if the book was still relevant. Might give it a second go.
Is Clojure "lighter" (for a lack of a better term) than lisp?
- coolsunglasses 13y agoClojure is more pliable, yet more robust. Easier to learn in some respects, yet deeper if you look for it. I've found it easier to teach Clojure than I had Common Lisp in the past, yet Clojure has helped me to grow more as a programmer. There's very little that you can do in CL, that you cannot in Clojure. That which you can't is often very limited and unimportant ultimately. There are many things that are either impossible or hopelessly painful in Common Lisp that are commonplace in Clojure. It is shocking how much code I write in Clojure is either: 1. Stateless 2. Stateful and multi-threaded, yet thread-safe.
